7th Annual End Of Year Survey – 2016 edition!!

My silly little survey I created for myself to highlight what I read in 2010 suddenly grew when a bunch of others jumped in and has turned into such a fun end of year event that I have LOVED hosting and has made my TBR list grow crazily! Seriously, 360+ people linked up last year and I know even more participated on their blogs and on Youtube!! So without further ado: the 7th annual End of Year Book Survey!

So feel to fill this out whenever you feel like it (please credit me!)…whether that’s today or in January — I know everybody will want to reflect at different points! Feel free to link up and share your End of Year Book Survey and visit others on the list!

I’ll be filling mine out at some point soon in another post! 🙂

Note: The survey is for books you read throughout the year, no matter when they were published, and is not limited to just books that came out in 2016!!

If you could, I’d love you to leave some feedback for any questions you’d LIKE to see on this survey in the future that perhaps I don’t have on here!

Jamie is a 30 year old married lady who is in denial that she's actually that old. When she's not reading you can find her doing Pilates followed by eating ice cream, listening to music with oversized headphones and having adventures with her husband and dog.

I have done this survey for the last 3 years and can’t wait to do it again! I always forget about all the great books I’ve read in the past year and then I do your survey and it reminds me how great a bookish year I have had!

This is such a great idea! I was trying to think of a way to recap 2016 without writing a ridiculously long post and this seems like the perfect solution. I’ll definitely have to squeeze this into my schedule within the next couple of weeks 🙂

Thanks for this survey! It’s my first year filling it out, and it took most of the day, but it was cool to go back through my year in books! Been really fun to look at everyone else’s year as well. HAPPY READING!

What a creative, end-of-the-year survey you composed here. I follow a few book bloggers who answered your detailed, thinking cap questions. I’ll try to join in next year. Quinn’s Book Nook gave you credit which was nice because I had thought one other blogger did it herself (may have missed the referral to you though w/my speedreading eyeballs). Happy new year and happy reading to you.
